Ongoing care of the patient will be passed to the residents GP. Care Home to notify HPT Commisceo to carry out the following actions: Assess the dose of antiviral medication required for those residents confirmed by HPT. This will be undertaken remotely by Commisceo’s Clinician employed by the service provider. Assessment of each exposed resident for antiviral medication must take into account renal function (according to the SPC which can be found at www.medicines.org) and where necessary the dose must be adjusted accordingly. Where an exposed resident’s renal function is unknown, the service provider should refer to the CCG guidance. Use TTA packs provided by Ipswich Hospital. The Commisceo Clinician will write the name of the resident, their date of birth and any adjustment to dose on the medication label. Attend the care home and ensure that antiviral medication is provided to the home within 24 hours of being notified by HPT that the outbreak is confirmed. Complete a ‘record of supply’ (or refusal) form for each resident and return to the relevant GP practice via secure email (nhs.net).
